Download or stream the whole mixtape over at 10 Deep. Pick up the lmtd sclusive tee at the shop, if you’re in nyc go to the release party and then on Sunday its Mad Fools at Central Park Summerstage. An all out brawl featuring Mad Decent in the red corner and Fools Gold in the Blue corner.
Finally!! The one and only, Dirty South Joe has released a new podcast through Mad Decent. Last time we heard a recording from him, he was DJ Deluxxx, and along with Low Bee, gave us an hour of the best crunk remixes ever, (including my personal favorite, Bow Wow’s “Freshazimiz”). At last, Dirty South Joe is back, and better than ever, repping the one and only Brick Bandits Crew, and is gracing us with a podcast showing reverence to the music that heavily influenced the genesis of what we now hold near and dear to our hearts, Baltimore Club Music! “Told not Sold: Part One”??? Really, there’s gonna be more?!?!?!
Imeem has teamed up with Okayplayer and Mad Decent for a new campaign called Keys to the City: Philly. They’ve asked the Roots and Diplo to showcase all that this is awesome in music from Philly.
